In this kinesthetic activity, learners will play a game with a ball to demonstrate the Coriolis force, which partly explains why hurricanes in the Northern Hemisphere rotate counterclockwise.

En esta tira cómica, Mateo y Cientina observan unas hormigas para contestar algunas preguntas: ¿Qué comen las hormigas?

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners make 3-dimensional models of the Earth and Moon.

This is an activity about motion, power, air and Newton’s Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

In this activity, learners explore how polarizing sunglasses can help diminish road glare.

In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off), learners will use the ever-popular soda geyser experiment to test the reactivity of the various sugar candies or mints.

In this activity on page 13 of the PDF, use a special plastic card that has been painted with a chemical that changes color when it is in UV light.

In this meteorology activity, learners build weather vanes using straws, paperclips, and cardstock.
